This plant has recently ( May ) bloomed, big red ridiculously gorgeous blooms, and now looks like crap! It seems to be turning brown and crisping up at the base, and I fear it needs help FAST! I've read several other sites advising possible fungal issue. I might mention, it has been on a back porch, indirect light, and our temps have been over 100 degrees for a couple weeks now. As a result I have been faithful to water ~ too much? HELP! The leaves feel soft and wilty.
